| 92% | Supergirl: Season 3 - Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1 (TV Episode) |
It makes for some amazing fights, sure, but it's also one of the best "What If?" stories they've pulled off in the Arrowverse. ‐ Syfy Wire

H.R. has been annoying at times, though he's had his moments along the way. But this episode was his greatest.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | The Flash: Season 3 - Infantino Street (TV Episode) |
Wentworth Miller is a pretty busy dude. But bringing him back and teaming him up with the Flash for a heist was pretty much the best thing that's happened on this show in a while.‐ Syfy Wire

We learned a whole lot about Savitar's origin this week, but it's still insanely confusing.‐ Syfy Wire

David Dastmalchian does a heck of a job with this version of Kadabra.‐ Syfy Wire

| 80% | The Flash: Season 3 - The Once and Future Flash (TV Episode) |
When you decide to let your time traveling hero start mucking around in the future to fix his problems, you open yourself up to a whole host of problems. And that's pretty much what happened here.‐ Syfy Wire

| 64% | The Flash: Season 3 - Into the Speed Force (TV Episode) |
Having your hero face challenges, and deal with consequences, is one thing. But Barry Allen is practically the villain of this season. The pendulum needs to swing back, pronto.‐ Syfy Wire

Considering this is a show about people who can run really fast, it's high time we got a race.‐ Syfy Wire

When Flash tackles a "big" episode, it's typically knocked out of the park. Happy to report this one was no exception.‐ Syfy Wire

The effects team really outdid itself with this one, and it made for a great nod to all the little worlds we've glimpsed the past few seasons.‐ Syfy Wire

The real appeal of this project is getting all these folks on the screen together, and the shared creative team looks to be taking full advantage.‐ Syfy Wire

"Borrowing Problems" did a fantastic job of setting the stakes and really providing a framework for where the season will be going next.‐ Syfy Wire

| 90% | The Flash: Season 3 - Shade (TV Episode) |
Tom Cavanagh is awesome, and even when he's playing the mildly annoying H.R. (a version of Wells from Earth-19), he's still pretty great.‐ Syfy Wire

Guest director Kevin Smith does an excellent job of finally giving Caitlin a meaty story to dig into.‐ Syfy Wire

The Metahuman of the Week story was also a nice twist from the usual beat-em-up.‐ Syfy Wire

This is a fun little direction to go, but c'mon, would they really just welcome a stranger from another world onto the team in the span of a few hours?‐ Syfy Wire

As long as Cavanagh is there, the show is better. No matter who he's playing.‐ Syfy Wire

| 85% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Nevertheless, She Persisted (TV Episode) |
This episode was pretty good to begin with, but the fact that Cat Grant actually hung around to give a few more pep talks made it downright special.‐ Syfy Wire

| 92% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Resist (TV Episode) |
Look, this was one of the best episodes of Supergirl this year. Thanks in large part to Flockhart's appearance. She tied this cast together in a way that has been sorely lacking, and it was pretty great.‐ Syfy Wire

| 73% | Supergirl: Season 2 - City of Lost Children (TV Episode) |
This was not the strongest episode of Supergirl. It basically served as a character study for James Olsen, but came off as half-baked wheel-spinning ‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Ace Reporter (TV Episode) |
This storyline has been a bit hot and cold, but there's some real chemistry there when they give these two a meaty story and a chance to shine...the show needs more of that, so keep it coming.‐ Syfy Wire

| 78% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Alex (TV Episode) |
It was a fun enough story once it got rolling, but the setup that an old middle school classmate manages to outsmart Supergirl and the DEO is bordering on silly, right?‐ Syfy Wire

| 75% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Distant Sun (TV Episode) |
Say what you will about Kevin Smith, but the guy absolutely gets how this show should work. This season of Supergirl has been wildly uneven, but this episode was arguably one of the best of the year.‐ Syfy Wire

Try to find a way to tell that story in a more interesting way, as opposed to going with the story pretty much everyone expected weeks ago.‐ Syfy Wire

Even if the plot is a little dumb, I'm all about getting Dean Cain more involved in this show.‐ Syfy Wire

| 58% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk (TV Episode) |
This was the Valentine's Day episode, and the relationship drama was cranked up to 11 - and most of it was pretty clunky.‐ Syfy Wire

| 92% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Luthors (TV Episode) |
When the show gets into the soap-y stuff with Kara, it can really start painting by numbers. This is one of those times.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Supergirl Lives (TV Episode) |
Mon-El was also pretty great here. Initially, his fish-out-of-water alien shtick was played a bit too slapstick, but now he's really settling into a comfortable chemistry with Kara.‐ Syfy Wire

Though the action was fairly heavy, this episode also featured some excellent character moments that really speak to the vibe of this show. ‐ Syfy Wire

It's been a common refrain, and not much changed this week: James Olsen's introduction as Guardian is coming too fast and too furious.‐ Syfy Wire

|
| 87% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Crossfire (TV Episode) |
This show is obviously trying to pull a page from the Arrow-verse playbook, by bringing some of the core cast into the vigilante lifestyle. But this just felt like to much, too soon.‐ Syfy Wire

| 87% | Supergirl: Season 2 - Survivors (TV Episode) |
...this episode didn't really deliver on the potential...Alex and Maggie also seems like a story without any real direction.‐ Syfy Wire

| 100% | Supergirl: Season 2 - The Last Children of Krypton (TV Episode) |
Not surprisingly, Tyler Hoechlin's version of Clark Kent continues to be an absolute highlight not only of this show, but also of the entire prime-time season. He's just so darn likable.‐ Syfy Wire

It came around a bit clunky, but Felicity summed it up perfectly: Oliver is dealing with a schism within himself... As we learned tonight, he's not alone.‐ Syfy Wire

As the world hangs in the balance, we get a chance to see Felicity's mother and father bicker and butt heads, filling in backstory gaps that actually proved to be fairly compelling. ‐ Syfy Wire

| 85% | Arrow: Season 4 - Monument Point (TV Episode) |
All your favorite villains from the past two seasons are back... Great move to bring all these guys back as part of Darhk's gang, and was handled with enough subtlety to really make it just feel like a believable part of this living, breathing universe.‐ Syfy Wire

| 77% | Arrow: Season 4 - Genesis (TV Episode) |
Yeah, this plan doesn't exactly make a mountain of sense at this point... That plot just seemed like a weird fit, tossing tidbits from Wayward Pines to Under the Dome into a pot and stirring.‐ Syfy Wire

Paul Blackthorne is digging deep for that raw emotion, and positively killing it. He even pulls out an ugly cry. One of the best, and most underrated, performances on this series.‐ Syfy Wire

"Eleven Fifty-Nine" was a fitting tribute to who Laurel had become, and a heartbreaking goodbye to someone who had finally come into her own.‐ Syfy Wire

| 86% | Arrow: Season 4 - Beacon of Hope (TV Episode) |
Kinney is, as always, a ton of fun in the role. She's deliciously crazy and weird, and she's easily one of the most bizarre (but fun) villains in the canon.‐ Syfy Wire

| 79% | Arrow: Season 4 - Broken Hearts (TV Episode) |
Though soapy break-ups like this can often feel manufactured for the sake of drama, this one is actually believable on every front... Felicity's emotions in this situation are wholly believable.‐ Syfy Wire
